I remember the name, know that they had a video running on MTV in the late 80s, and that a friend...ok, more like a mutual friend of a friend always used to play it in his car. Even looking through their wiki page, none of it looks familiar.

I think they are/were big down south. I think they toured with REM a few times in the 90's. I know they opened up at least once for them in Pittsburgh maybe during the Monster tour. They had a copy of small radio hits "Build a Fire", "The Innocent", and "Fly me Courageous". Ever once and awhile someone will request them during DVE's Electric Lunch.

I've been trying to restock the ipod with essential (pre troy loney's birth/recognition of music). Here's basically what i've come across from some best of lists from the 60's and 70's. Suggestions welcome.

You need more Dylan and more XTC and more Costello and more Fall and The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society and Something Else and The Talking Heads Remain in Light and the Stones Some Girls and Television and Marvin Gaye and Pet Sounds and Dusty in Memphis and Steely Dan and Jesus and Mary Chain and Young Marble Giants and Laura Nyro and Big Star and Leonard Cohen ...
